10、n Universitys College of Nursing in 2020.Her mother,Sevala Habibovic,46,died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasnt for me.Then,my mom got sick and I had all the experience going in and out of the hospital,”Edina toldGood MorningAmerica.“When my mom passe

11、d away,I thought,I want to dothis.”she said.Sanja Josipovic,who at the time worked as a home health nurse with Northwestern Medicine in Winfield,Illinois,cared for Sevala inside her home.They often chatted and shared the latest news with each other over six months of care.“She was most worried about

12、 Edina because she was young and hadnt finished school yet,”Sanja said.“We are like sisters;we care about and trust each other.She was a powerful and strong minded woman.She wasnt scared to die;she was just worried about her kids and husband.”Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and

13、 taking care of people.“When Sanja was working,my mom would still try to make her something to eat,no matter how sick she was,”Edina added.When Sevalas life was coming to an end,she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughters nursing school graduation.“That was the only thing she was goi

14、ng to miss.Edinas graduation,”said Sanja,who is a mother of three herself.She agreed.Due to COVID-19,there was no graduation or pinning ceremony.Edinas manager at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital decided to host a pinning ceremony for her and have Sanja present the pin.“Sanja has fulfilled her prom

18、th a faulty heart.We tried to slow it down with treatment,but it suddenly stopped beating completely.Later,whenever I would have a case like that one,I found myself second-guessing my clinical management.However,it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working pap

19、er,Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result,they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient,often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences,t

20、hefalloutfrom second-guessing appears especially large for us.A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed(开药)warfarin,the physician was about 20%less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes(中风).However,if a patient was not on warfarin an

21、d had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors.In the blood-thinner study,doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting docto

22、rs were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient)and less affected by letting harm happen(not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke).Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is n

23、ot unique to medicine.Overreaction to Fearsome Risks holds true for broader society.For instance,sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions.Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and,according

24、 to the study,such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational(不理性的)thinking when processing information,bad events and mistakes.As much as we dont want to cause an unfortunate event

25、 to happen again,we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesnt necessarily mean we did anything wrong.When we overthink,we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced.Instead,we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have trea

26、ted dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient,who died more than a year ago.Instead of second-guessing myself,I trusted my clinical instinct(本能)and stayed the course.Every one of those patients survived.You should trust your instinct in your life,too.8.The first tw

27、o paragraphs suggest that_.A.bad medical outcomes affect doctors B delivering babies can be difficult work C.some doctors are not very experienced D.doctors sometimes make silly mistakes 9.In the blood-thinner study,doctors_.A.tend to prescribe less effective medicine B.are more concerned about the

28、patients safety C.become less confident in writing a prescription D.believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding 10.What does the underlined word fallout in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Result B.Benefit C.Difference D.Absence 11.The author will probably agree that_.A.we should not doubt our own

29、 decisions B.our experience will pave way for our future C.humans are emotional and irrational on the whole D.instincts dont necessarily lead to wrong directions D British anthropologists(人类学家)Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham,after studying the results of one-on-one boxing,

30、tae kwon do,Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games,conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill,the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other,colour has no

31、 effect on the result.However,when there is only a small difference between them,the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance.The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance,but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell,a primate(灵长目动物)researc

32、her at the University of Cambridge,has found similar results in nature.She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills.Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces.Setchells work shows that the powerful males the ones who are more successful with females have a b

33、righter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell,another study shows the effect of red among birds.In an experiment,scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds success with female zebra finches,Zebra finches already

34、have bright red beaks(鸟喙),so this study suggests that,as with Olympic athletes,an extra flash of red is significant.In fact,researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health.Jonathan Blount,a biologist,andhis colleagues think they have found

35、 proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier.Nothing in nature is simple,however,because in species such as the blue footed booby,a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile,what about t

36、hose athletes who win in their events while wearing red?Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage?Robert Barton accepts that“that is the implication”of their findings.Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?12.According to their research.Hill and

37、Barton conclude that _.A.the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport events B.red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sports C.red plays a role when competitors are equally capable D.athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red 13.The underlined word“tip”in Paragraph 2 is

38、closest in meaning to _.A.achieve B.advance C.keep D.change 14.The example of the blue footed booby proves that _.A.male birds use different body parts to draw attention B.red is not the only colour to attract female birds C.blue gives female birds the same advantage D.blue can indicate how healthy

39、a bird is 15.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The colour red gives male animals the most advantage.B.Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs.C.Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed.D.Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents.第二节（共 5 小
